Wait until OP learns about LaTeX.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

searching latex on a safe-search-off computer was always a ride.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some interesting LATEX-related searches:

  • latex wrap
  • latex confine to table
  • latex change orientation

Why do I need a leather fetish to edit photos?

My favorite kind of jokes are the ones that take me a few seconds to figure out. Bravo, OP.

There's a photo editing software called gimp that is FOSS. Google gimp suits for more info.

Is this best done on a work computer in the office as the boss is roaming about?

[–] Globulart 7 points 10 months ago

I'd actually call them over before searching.

Go on the journey of learning together, I'm sure they'd appreciate it :)

Affinity > all photoshop alternatives

Sorry

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I just checked this out. Seems great, but I was bummed to see they only support iOS, and not Android. Any idea if they plan to extend to Android?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I doubt it happens. They also don't support linux.

How does it compare to PS? After becoming comfortable in PS, I find the work flow in anything else cumbersome and hard to adjust to.

[–] GrapesOfAss 9 points 10 months ago

Very rarely do I need to google how to do something

It's about as close to photoshop as you can legally make a paid photoshop clone

I only got 1 big tooth so no floss for me

there's a popular free image editing program called GIMP (judging by the post id assume it's probably also open-source). Anyways, if you Google "GIMP" you'll probably see a lot of pictures of leather.

[–] baronvonj 8 points 10 months ago

Ah, yeah. The image had me thinking there was some other meaning for FOSS I didn't know about.

Foss stands for free and open source software.

You can use the code to make your own fork/version, as long it's also free and open. Or I'm wrong and somebody will correct me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Free (as in freedom) software bares the stipulation that if you use it, it must remain free. The criteria for being free are 1. You may view the source code. 2. You may edit the source code. 3. You may distribute the source code. 4. You may distribute the modifications to the source code. If you use the software the freedoms given to you are to be payed forward to all subsequent people who use it.

Open source only says you can see the source code, but it can be used in any closed sources or proprietary program.

In short. Free software is about ethics. Open Source software is about pragmatics (or so some may claim)

Apparently apple joined the fediverse the other day based on my feed, I don't see anyone slighting them.

[–] Glifted 4 points 10 months ago (4 children)

What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Free and Open Source Software

(free as in freedom)

Free and open source software is a way of life. All hail the Richard Stallman.
